All CWG works to be over before its commencement on Oct 3: CM

With just 36 days left for Commonwealth Games and incessant rains delaying key projects, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Friday refused to spell any deadline for their completion and only said all works will be over before commencement of the event on October 3.

Dikshit's comment came just four days ahead of expiry of the "final deadline of August 31", set by her last month, to complete all the works linked to the event, including the key Barapullah Nallah elevated road project which will link Games Village with the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

"It has been raining very heavily which has affected our works. If rain stops and sun comes out then we should be able to complete all the work by September 10. Otherwise we will have to extend the deadline," she told reporters after inaugurating a parking facility near JLN Stadium.
